ACTING Town Clerk, Carol Sooba, yesterday, at a press conference held at City Hall, expressed her fear that Deputy Mayor Patricia Chase-Green “might be attracted to her” considering the fact that LGBT issues are surfacing.

Sooba explained that for the longest while the LGBT issue has been on the front-burner in the country and the ongoing onslaught by the Deputy Mayor, Patricia Chase-Green on her (Sooba) character, has hinted to her that the

Deputy Mayor “has attraction towards her.”
According to the acting Town Clerk, the Deputy Mayor intends to tarnish her character through her many declarations made recently. She said that every public opportunity Chase-Green gets, she uses to “tarnish” her.
“It worries me badly. I am concerned as to why she would be so attracted to me,” Sooba said, laughing.
However, the acting Town Clerk is contending that Chase-Green’s attempt is not only to tarnish her character but to frustrate her efforts in the work she is currently engaged in, which involves aiding in the development of the city.
The administration she said has currently embarked on several initiatives which include a consultation on the rehabilitation of City Hall. She said that the rehabilitation of the complex historical building will be done through a collaborative effort by the Ministry of Local Government, the Ministry of Culture and senior officials at City Hall.
Another initiative launched by the administrative body is a current clean-up exercise which was taken to Bel Air yesterday and will continue today (Saturday) in Lodge. Sooba said that this exercise has seen a remarkable contribution from residents who are eager and willing to render assistance.
While these initiatives are being rolled out by the administration, however, Sooba contended that the Deputy Mayor and her cabal are attempting to hinder progress. She said: “The Deputy Mayor and her concubine are on a self-destructive path that has a limited journey. I am convinced that the journey they are headed on is a limited one,” Sooba emphasised.
